My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Board meeting

Alicia’s POV

I was sitting up in bed, leaning against the headboard as I read through one of the books beside me.

Over the past few months, I had bought several books about pregnancy and parenting.

Before, I had always been too afraid to look into those things, worried Alexander might find out.

But now...

There was no reason to hide anymore.

Alexander had already left for the office after making sure I finished breakfast.

Lately, he had seemed exhausted.

Even though he never said anything directly, I could tell there was a lot happening at the company. Every time I asked, he would simply tell me not to worry.

As if he could handle everything alone.

Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated with a notification.

Ever since Alexander bought me the new phone, I hadn’t used it much after setting everything up. Realizing it had been a while since I checked my social media accounts, I put down my book and picked up the phone from the nightstand.

The notification was from Twitter.

And it involved Blackwood Dominion.

My brows furrowed slightly as I tapped on it.

#BlackwoodDominion #CEO

Attached was a photo of Alexander alongside a short article.

"The CEO of Blackwood Dominion Enterprises, Alexander Blackwood, is allegedly about to be replaced. A board meeting is currently being held at the company headquarters. Follow us for further updates regarding the situation."

I immediately sat up straighter.

A board meeting?

Why hadn’t Alexander told me anything?

And replaced?

What exactly had happened?

If something this serious was going on, then why had he looked so calm this morning?

Not once had he shown any sign of worry.

After all, Alexander was still incredibly young, yet he already stood at the very peak of success. He controlled Blackwood Dominion with absolute authority and respect.

Countless people admired him.

Even more envied him.

How could he possibly give all of that up so quietly?

I stared at the screen, the article replaying repeatedly in my mind.

If the rumors were true...

Then who did the board want to replace him with?

It couldn’t possibly be an outside professional manager. The Blackwood family would never hand control of the company to an outsider.

That meant the number of possible candidates was very small.

Uncle Steve?

No... he had never shown much interest in the company.

Aunt Angela?

Unlikely.

Then who?

One of the major shareholders?

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

Without hesitating any longer, I dialed Alexander’s number.

Third Person POV

Alexander sat at the head of the conference table, Jane standing quietly behind him.

On both sides of the long table, the board members waited as the meeting prepared to begin.

Then suddenly—

Alexander’s phone rang.

The interruption immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Alexander glanced at the screen.

Alicia.

Without saying a word, he raised a hand slightly.
